I cook wings n breasts. at 325-350f Use no sugar in the rub and give it hell in the smoker. Takes 45 mins or so for wings. I don't use a temp probe, just snag a few off the pit and try em to see if they are done.

My experience with chicken is that it should be smoked at 325 to 350. Smoking wings down around 250 could lead to tough and rubbery skin, versus crisp skin. You will notice this more on the Wings than the breasts, due to the skin to meat ratio difference.
i used to smoke everything at 225 to 250, and my wife liked grilled but not smoked chicken wings. Now that I do the wings hotter the wife likes them much better, as do I.Comment

Looks great. Next time, go over 400 F! See what you think, some like it some don't. I like to get the kamado hot, around 350 F to 400 F, then I add a chunk of oak or hickory to the fire and I let it rip!

As the others have said, I would run your propane smoker much hotter for chicken, and also not use a water pan as you want dryer air not moisture.Comment

Nice Job! What wood did you use for your smoke?Comment

Wings are a bifurcation.
You have two choices for optimization.
1 smoke low at 225F THEN fry to take care of the skin (fry step is fast since they are already heated through)
2 straight smoke roast hot 400F+. I like ~500
much more smoke flavor with 1. 2 is easier and skin is like fried.Comment

I cooked 2 breasts and a package of wings today too. I smoke at about 200 (high smoke on my oellet grill), thrn turned the temp to 325 for an hour. I took the breasts off earlt because they were skinless boneless. The wings turn out great every time. When I temp them with an instant read thermometer, they are between 180 and 207.Comment

Hi klflowers! Yes, the liver transplant was a success! I'm a very blessed man - my son-in-law was my donor - I literally owe him my life. There were several complications including the need for a second surgery the day after the transplant, and I was in the hospital for 20 days vs the standard 5-10, but thankfully all the prayers from family and friends got me through it all.

I've only been home just over a week, and I have to make two trips a week up to Denver (I live in Colorado Springs) to the hospital for blood work and dr. visits to make sure I'm making progress.
I'm still pretty tired and weak, but I look outside each day and see the smoker and can't wait to have the energy to get things going again! It may be a few more weeks before I'll have enough energy to get out there, but I'm thinking I'll start with smoking a whole chicken to get back into the swing of things!
Thanks for remembering about the surgery - that's very kind of you.
